Mrs. Willis, president of the Wisconsin
Woman Suffrage association, was pre-
vented from voting ct municipal cleo
ton at Racine last spring, and brought
suit in consequence to test the validity Of
a state law which empowers women to
vote upon school matters. The Judge
before whom the case was tried has de-
cided that the law is constitutional and
that Mrs. Willis was entitled to vote.
The matter will be carried to the supreme
court of the state.

Father told mother after ward that he believed he had been hasty; but at that moment when he departed from the field, accompanied by the umpire with a suspicious moist ure in her blue eyes, he felt that the dig nity of outraged fatherhood had been re-established on business basis.-M r Times

GOWNS FOR SUMMER.
Materials and Styles Suitable Especially
 for Country Wear.

Materials and Styles Suitable Especially
 for Country Wear.
 Just now most women are exercised over the question of wardrobe; old gowns must be renovated and new ones selected. To those living in the country, pretty, washable gowns are an absolute necessity; one Fnever tires of their dainty freshness during the warm months. Morning frocks of neat, dark cambric must, of course, have their place in the wardrobe. Here let us make gentle but most emphat- ic protest against the pernicious hab- it of wearing slimpsy calico wrappers, indulged in by many otherwise neat women. A well fitting wrapper is a pretty and useful garment, but it is not the proper dress for housework. It very soon gets dragged-out and for lorn aspect, and without the greatest care it loses its shape in ironing. Dress Hebe herself in a much-washed calico wrapper, minus collar, and she woul d be fright in the strongest sense of the word.
 We always recommend making cal ico morning gowns in two pieces-a full, round skirt, with two tucks and hem, and a loose, pleated waist, tucked under the skirt-band and belted. This is easily made, easily ironed and with a muslin tucker pasted into the neck, is neatness itself, and may be donned quite as quickly as wrapper. Pretty lawns, or the aesthetic but inexpensive cheese-cloth, are very suitable for aft ernoon home wear, made after the same fashion. A ribbon belt, with a long bow at one side, or big sash of the dress material, is good addition. Such frocks may be washed and ironed without excessive trouble.
 More elaborate gowns of gingham, seersucker, sateen or the like, should be worn the whole season without re- quiring washing. For this reason they may be made in the same style as a cloth suit. With all these materials velvet combines very prettily in the form of collar or lapels. cuffs and vest Some handsome gowns of bourette gingham have a panel of velvet at one side. The velvet should always be a darker shade than material composing the gown. The light, crinkled seer suckers, striped pink and cream, blue and white, or pink and blue, are charming. with collar and cuffs of black velvet, or with an occasional bow of the same on the skirt. Such gowns are really very dressy at a small cost.
 Summer is really the very best time for the ingenious maiden, for she can make charming costumes with a very moderate outlay. All one requires is good taste and knowledge of the be- coming. And if we are uncertain of our taste we must keep to simplicity of form and coloring; we are only likely to err when we attempt very am bilious effect. Rural NeW Yorker.

HAITIAN SOLDIERS.

ValorOus Sentries Who Are Considerably
 Provided with Chairs.
 The Haytians are an intensely vain people. and the thing they most pride themselves on is their army. Nothing will convince them as military power they are not vastly superior to any na- ton, either in the Old or New World. Even those who have lived in European capitals are addicted to this extremely ridiculous "balderdash ;'' but when the real facts are presented, the state of affairs disclosed is simply sublime in its absurdity. The Haytian army must present to European behOlders a spectacle of grotesqueness, the equal of which it would be difficult to find anywhere, either in fact or fiction. Imagine battalion on parade con- sisting of thirteen privates, ten officers and six drummers! the rest of the men-as the author quaintly puts it-think- ing it unnecessary to present them- selves except on pay day. The staff officers are clad in the most gorgeous uniforms procurable, while the men are habited in a motley array of tat ters. Some have coats wanting one arm, the collar or the tail; the head gear may consist of dilapidated shake, a straw hat, wideawake or in many cases merely a handkerchief tied around the head The officers hold their swords in either hand as suits them, and the men march past in ad- mirable confusion, each one carrying his musket in the position he finds most convenient The populace look on with admiring looks and gravely ask if finer troops can anywhere be found. The Haytian black. however, thorough ly detests military service, and con sequently the sentries, lest they should be over-fatigued. are considerably pro- yided with chrsis!-CkGmsbers Journal

THE AMERICAN ROBIN.
Some of the Habits and Everyday Life
 of This Cheery Bird-Its Family Cares

Some of the Habits and Everyday Life
 of This Cheery Bird-Its Family Cares
 Yesterday I saw a couple of boys honest, well-meaning little fellows, but thoughtless-throwing sharp-cornered, ugly stones at some robins that were very busily and happily picking up worms on the parade grounds of the Boston Common. It quite spoiled the birds breakfast, I am afraid, for they were constantly frightened from one spot to another, so that they could take no comfort of it even when they did get good bill-full. It happer ed that I had been looking out for robins all through this cold spring, and these were among the first that arrived. It really was rather rough welcome, wasn't it? Then I thought to myself, if those boys knew more about the habits and everyday life of those red vested birds, and so learned to love them, they would want to throw crumbs instead of stones; perhaps they would even try to turn up the earth here and there Gf the policemen didn't catch them), and see how the birds would gather round, and what fun they would have picking up their mornings meal.
 The American robin has nothing to do with the "Redbreast" of old En- gland. I remember standing on the shores of beautiful Loch Katrine in Scotland, and, as I looked out over the dimplihg, hill-shadowed waters, having my attention attracted to small bird about the size of sparrow, huttering in and out of bush at my side. In a minute or two 1 had a good look at him, and then felt at once as if l had known him for years. For had l not time and again seen pictures of him carrying leaves to cover the Babes in the Wood, or lying pitifully on his back with an arrow sticking straight out of his pretty breast, or peeping in at the latticed windows of English cottages with bright eyes exactly like those be- fore me? Yes, there was no mistaking my first real Robin-Redbreast; and a very different bird he was from the stout-hearted, cheerful, hard-working thrush that we call robin.
 So much for the English bird; and now for our own again. Thrush" I said; for, as many of you know, the robin is one of the true thrushes- Our commonest thrushes are: Song thrush, hermit thrush, veery, olive-backed thrush, brown thrush, robin, cat-bird; one for each day of the week. If you watch them you will see that they all have the same general look; that they have the same clear, sweet whistle; that their nests are built in the same general way (except that the robin uses mud as we'll as dried grass), and that they generally run instead of hop ping.
 A few robins stay in the Northern States throughout the winter, but most of them take pleasure-trips to New Mexico and Central America They return soon after the first of March, and about four weeks later commence to build. We all know where to look for their nests-in the crotch or sad dled" on the bough of an apple tree, or 8 low pine in the pasture just be- yond the tree, or low pine in the pasture just beyond the orchard Sometimes they choose odd places for a home.

A POPULAR PHRASE.

 on You'' Originated.
 The following is the newest and heretofore an unpublished version of this well-known phrase: In the days of the Black Hills excitement, when that country was the Ell Dorado toward which many fortune-h hunters turned, there was one Billy" Tracey, lawyer by profession, who was among the first to reach Deadwood, that ephemeral metropolis of the locality, where he hung out his shingle and acted as agent for Eastern capitalists, who were eager to invest in mining lands and stocks. Among the anxious ones was the late Chas. R. Vermilye, banker and broker of Wall street, New York City, who instructed Tracey, a former acquaintance of his, to secure him some desirable minirg stock and draw on him for the purchase money. The lawyer having de- veloped into somewhat of a rogue, and seeing an opportunity to feather his nest by the transaction, secured large portion of the stock of the "Deadwood," a worthless mine, at a nominal value, and turned it over to his New York victim and unsuspieious friend at a high price. very coOlly pocketing the balance. Vermilye was not long in finding out that he had been grossly swindled, and having been commissioned by Tracey to whom he made no sign and for whom he held considerable amount in trust, to place his (Tracey's) money in Wall street where it would do the most good, put the good-for- nothing "Deadwood' stock on the market and by arrangement had it bid in at big figures. in Tracey's name. live got the Deadwood on you this time," wrote Vermilye to the Black Hills lawyer, where the latter learned he had been paid in his own coin for his dishonesty, and the expres- sion started from that date and rapidly became popular as an equivalent for. i've got the best of you;' i've got the upper hand of you" etc.-St Louis Globe DemOcrat.

A Railway Tie Nursery.

A notable phase of railway industry is railway tie nursery, situated near the little town of Burlington, Kas., in the southern part of that State. It is said to be the largest artificial planta- ton of forest trees in North America, and is owned by the Southern Pacific. The different sections have been plant ed, respectively, two. four and six years, one-fourth being planted with the ailanthus, the rest with the catal- pa, together with a few of white ash. Those first planted are now about twenty-five feet in height, the last about twelve, and some of the taller are seven inches through the stem. There are in all about three million trees. in full vigor, on the plantation; all were planted four feet apart each way, to shade the ground, though eight feet is the ultimate intention, this plan allow ing three-fourths of the trees to be cut when they are fit for fence posts. When rather larger it is expected the trees will make excellent railway ties in great numbers-that is, after a thin ning-out process, there will be some nine hundred thousand trees to come to maturity. The area of this vast rail- way tie nursery is to be still further in- creased.-M r. Sun

 With deferential air. He answers to your greeting
 With modest, manly ease, And if obliged to pass you,

 And takes the nearest seat; Nor tits his chair against the wall, Nor elevates his feet. He listens with attention,
 Or tell the latest news, Or talks in modest fashion,
 Of any thing you choose. In speaking of him after,
 The guest is heard to say: "A noble, manly fellow
 Most pleasing every way" But listen still a moment.

THE NIGHT MIST.

All the night long the gray, embracing mist Has held in tender arms the tired world;
 The sleepy river its soft lips have kissed, And over hills and meadows it has curled. Its white, cool finger it has gently placed On weary stretches of deep, drifting sand; The noisy city and the far-oi waste Have felt the benediction of it's hand.
 The drowsy world rolls on toward the day; The fresh, sweet wind of morning softly blows; The willing mist no longer now may stay; With first expectancy of dawn it goesl
